The Democrats of Virginia Hopeful OF Car
rying the Legislature.
WASHINGTON, October 13.-J. K. Fish
er, the Secretary of the Virginia Democrat
ic Association at Washington, expressed
the opinion tO star reporter to-day that
the Democrats have n certainty of electiug
majority OF the Virginia Legislature, and
thereby securing the successor to Senator
Riddleberger.
The campaign" he said, sis fully as &C.
tive as any previous contest for the Legisla,
ture The Democrats have nominated strong
candidates in all the districts, except such rs
are hopclessly Republican, such as the
Petersburg district. We have excellent
speakers on the stump, who are doing good
work. These are Senator John w. Daniel,
John GOOde, Thomas Whitehead, Repre-
sentatives George d. Wise, OFerrall and
Lee, Lieut.. Gov. Massey and Gov. Lee.
Representative Samuel Randall told me
to-day that he was going into the State to
meet appointments for several speeches.
Malone has been making an active cam
paign, and is claiming everything, but he
can't win. In several counties there are
two contending Republican candidates.
Some OF Mahone's former friends are max
ing an active fight against him. Accord
ing to our latest canvass, made five days
ago, which We consider very liberal to the
opposition, we vii, have good round ma
iOrity in both branches Of the Legislature.
There are hundred members of the
House of Delegates. OF these we count
upon as a certainty, having gone care
fully through the districts, fitty-seven
Democrats, twenty-siX MahOnites, and
seventeen doubtful. five concede Malone
all the doubtful districts, we still have a
majority of fourteen. But several of the
districts we have conceded him in this
count were represented in the last Legisla-
ture by Democrats. In the Senate there
are forty members, of which number
twenty one hold over. Seventeen of these
hold-Overs are Democrats, and four are
Republicans. Nineteen are to be elected,
and of those we count as certain eight and
probably ten"
Representative-elect Lee, Of Virginia,
said to day that the Democrats in that
State were very confident of carrying the
Legislature, and everywhere he had been
there was intense enthusiasm manifested
in the campaign.

The Stock Yards Strike Discussed VshsmsntSpeecbss
by Delegates Lsb and Schslliug-0r Own
Rhmsnn Shows Up-An Over
,whelning Majority.

MINNEAPoLIs, October 1.-THE details
of the secret session on Thursday sfter-
roon, have at last leaked out, and the
reason for the lack of committee report is
at once evident. One Of the iveliest dis
cussions of the convention was INDUCED
in. The Committee on Boycotts intro
duced q resolution favoring the action of
Master Workman Powderly and the Exc
cutive Board in declaring the big Chicago
stock yard strike of. This was the straw
that broke the backs of some of the dele
gates from d. A. "a and 81, Of Chicago.
They came here with feeling Of bitterness
against Powderly and the executive board,
with the exception Of T. B. Barry, who
represented the executive board in the
strike. When the committee reported, it
was more than they could stand. They
offered substitute resolution roundly
censuring the action of the General Master
Workman and the executive board.
Chas. F. Lieb, delegate from d. A. "a,
made a vehement speech sustaining the
substitute. He said that the action Of
Powderly and other members Of the Board,
had interiered in the matter. and bad de-
feated the purposes of the stock yard en-
ployes. He said that the only man on the
Board who had treated the matter fairly,
and who enjoyed the full confidence Of the
Chicago Knights, was T. B. Barry. Mr..
Barry had done all in his power to aid the
men and had he had authority, and had
he not been sat down upon by Mr.. Powder
ly and the other members of the Board,
the strike would have been won.
George A. Schilling, also delegate from
District Assembly No. "a, made a very
fiery speech, in which he roundly scored
the General Master Workman and Execu-
tive Board. T. B. Barry was called upon
to make q general review of the circum-
stances and his connection with the mat
ter. In his remarks he stated that the
men should, in his opinion, have gained
their point without any expense, and fur
ther, that he the demand of the men were
Just Delegates from District Assembly
No. 81 spoke upon the matter. They were
positive that the strikers would have been
successful had they been allowed to re-

John Ehmann, of West Virginia, spoke
in favor of the substitute. General Master
Workman Powderly took the floor and
went over the whole matter from beginning
to end He made statement that the ac-
ton of the executive board was advised by
them, and that if there was any blame in
the matter it belonged to him. The ayes
and nays were called for and it was lost
The committee S resolution was then passed

RAILROADS RESPONSIBLE.
1he Cororner's Verdict I'm the Kouts Ac.
cldent-CTiminal Negligence.


VALAPARIoN. IND, October 14.-Coro-
ner Letherman to-day rendered his verdict
i'll the railway disaster at Kouts, as fol-
lows:
'On the eleventh day of October, 1887,
information was given to me that the dead
bodies OF number Of persons lay in Por-
ter township, Porter county, Indiana, sup
posed to have to come to their death By
violence or casualty, and to ascertain so
far as possible the cause and circumstan-
ces of said deaths, witnesses were called
and sworn and their material evidence re-
duced to writing, signed by myself, and
filed in the clerks office Of said county,
whereupOu find decedents, to be as far as
/ know, as follows:
CDR. VIM. Perry, wife and daughter; a
family suppo ed to be the Millers, four in
and one unknown man, not
burned, supposed to be from Dundee, ILL.,,
and one unknown person, charred, who
came TO their death by reason Of injuries
caused by the fast freight train No. 4S, of
the Chicago and Atlantic Railroad Com
Dsny running into and crushing passenger
train No. 12 of said road at the State
ditch water tank, Porter county, Ind, at
or about midnight of Monday, October 10,
1887, said accident being the result of the
negligence of the train dispatcher of said
road in permitting passenger train No. II
to attempt to run with a disabled
engine, knowing that fast freight train,
No. 4S, was but few minutes
behind it; and by the negligence or care
lessness of Engineer Dorsey, Of freight No.
As, running his engine at high rate of
speed through the fog, knowing that pas
senger train No. II was but short dis
tance in advance of his train with dis
abled engine.
"The verdict is in accordance with the
facts, that death resulted from carelessness
or negligence on the part of the train dis
patcher and the engineer of the fast freight
No. 8, and censureS the company for al
lowing a crippled engine, pulling passen-
ger train, to be on the road few minutes
in advance of fast freight, and by the
negligence of Engineer Dorsey in not pro-
viding his engine with sand and his reck-
lessness in running AZ such a rate of speed
through the fog.

New YORK, October l4.-Au Albany
special says: Governor Hill has received
several urgent invitations to 30 TO Ohio and
take the stump. He had not yet decided
whether he will not go or not. The Demo-
Gratis of Ohio are particularly anxious to
have the Governor visit them on account
of the position he took on the excise bills
which came before him last winter. They
want him 10 speak at Cincinnati and Col
umbus. A prominent Democrat of Ohio
wrote to leading Democrat of this city
that two speeches from Governor Hill in
the Ohio campaign would be worth 1000
votes to the party.

THAT SHUT OUT.
The Pittsbure Team Taking Their Defeat
by wheeling Very Hard.

by wheeling Very Hard.
The members Of the Pittsburg team have
been kept busy since their return home ex-
planning how they were shut out by
Wheeling, and many Of them are pleading
the baby act. Morris, according to the
Pittsburg papers, is very sore over the de-
feat. OF course Wheeling was very sorry
to inflict such crushing blow on the
Smoked Italians, aud II is hoped that II
will not affect the salaries Of any Of the
team. Captain Dalrymple Is the last TO
explain" it away. He thus wept on the
shoulders Of Penny Press reporter:
Now, please do not say anything about
that Wheeling game yesterday" said
Capt. Malrymple, OF the Allegheny club,
this morning. Morrison is a good pitcher
and the Nail City men put mp a good
game of ball, but we can do 'em up any
day in the week and every day in the
week when we get fair play. Will White,
Of the Louisville team, a Bellaire, . boy,
umpired the game and We got the worst Of
it, Here is q sample Of his umpiring:
George Miller was at the bat with two
men out and two men on bases. Three
strikes had been called on him when he
was hit by pitched ball. White called
il four strikes and out We had men on
bases in every inning, and would have
scored bushel Of runs il il had been for
Whites miserable judgment on strikes and
balls MOrrisons best hold is an out
curve, and it didn't matter, whether the
ball was near the plate or not. II was a
strike. Don't you see how we lost?"
All this is very we'll, Captain, If IL were
strictly true. Miller had three strikes on
him, and did strike and miss the fourth
one. The ball bounced out Of Westlake's
hand and hit Miller. Again, Capt. Dal'
rymple struck out and Westlake missed
the fourth strike. and when he reached for
it to throw Dalrymple out at 6st, the
Captain knocked the hall from his hand
with his bat. And although he could have
been thrown out the umpire very properly
called him out for his scurvy trick. Per.
haps the Pittsburgs can beat Wheeling
every day inithe week, but they didn't dc
it, you know. Thus far Wheeling has
beaten FIVE PittsbGrg organizations, and
if there is one yet left that really car
play ball Wheeling wouldn't object tc
chancingit.

Cattle DYING of a Plague,

CHICAGO, October IA special from
Tolono, Ill, says; Some mysterious dis
ease is killing the cattle in the southern
part of Crittenden township, Champaign
county. A score or more have died within
a few days. Prominent stock raisers, while
not claiming to name the disorder, think it
resulted fr1m the water famine, which was
especially severe in that locality. Some
cattle not having drink oftener than once
a week for two months. Another cause is
thought to be the excessive amount Of
smut or green corn which has been fed
since the pastures failed in the latter part
of the summer.

ST. LOUIS, October IA special from

When the election was over, on the face of
the returns, as certified by the nine na-
tiOnal clerks, Joel MayeS was declared
elected as Chief by l43 majority. Since
then the returns have been so changed as
to count in Robert Bunch, the opposition
candidate. Both parties are gathering in
force and declare their respective candi-
dates will be seated. The only way to
settle this question is by force, there be-
ing no court to appeal to. 1t will be a
fight between corrupt men and peace-lov-
ing citizens. In case of trouble, it is stated
it will result in the opening up of the
country, and destroying tribal relations.
Both sides are armed for pitched battle.
